To drop out?: Rumors are stirring that Kendrick Meek, the Democrat in a three-way Senate race in Florida, may leave the race. Charlie Crist, who is running as an Independent but says he would vote with Democrats if elected, told Fox News that Meek was “considering” conceding. Politico reports that Bill Clinton made the case to Meek to do so, but Meek denies Clinton’s involvement and says that “any rumor or any statement that I decided to get out of this race is inaccurate at best.”

To move up?: Charles Schumer and Dick Durbin are positioning themselves to ascend in the Senate leadership should Harry Reid, the majority leader, lose to Sharron Angle.
